Usenokuba uzibuza ukuba kutheni ndihlala ndifumana amaqhuma angaqhelekanga emzimbeni wam wonke, okanye kutheni ezinye izifo zingayi kuphela. Ngamanye amaxesha isizathu soku sinokuba nzima ngakumbi kunokuba sicinga. Namhlanje siza kuthetha ngemeko engaqhelekanga kodwa ebaluleke kakhulu ekufuneka siyiqaphele. Eso sisifo sika-von Hippel-Lindau, okanye sisibiza ngokuba yi-`(VHL)` ngamafutshane.
Yintoni u-von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)? Masiyiqonde ngokulula.
Kulungile, ngoku mhlawumbi uyazibuza ukuba yintoni le `(VHL)`. Ngamafutshane, i-von Hippel-Lindau yimeko engaqhelekanga yemfuza. Yenzeka xa kukho `(uguquko lwemfuza)` okanye utshintsho kwezinye zezakhi zofuzo emzimbeni wakho. Ngenxa yoku, kunokwenzeka ukuba ube neethumba `(ezimbi)`, kunye neethumba `(ezingenobungozi)` kunye nee-cysts, kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zomzimba wakho. Oogqirha ngamanye amaxesha babiza le meko `(i-von Hippel-Lindau syndrome`.
Uphando lufumanise ukuba ama-97% abantu abanolu tshintsho lwemfuza baya kuba nezi thumba zinxulumene ne-VHL kunye nezinye xa beneminyaka engama-65 ubudala. Kwiimeko ezininzi, unyango oluphambili lwezi thumba zinxulumene ne-VHL lutyando lokususa izi thumba.
Zeziphi ii-cancer ezinokunxulunyaniswa nesifo se-VHL?
Ukuba unale meko `(VHL)`, usemngciphekweni omkhulu wokufumana olunye okanye ngaphezulu kwezi ntlobo zilandelayo zomhlaza:
- I-Clear cell renal carcinoma (ccRCC): Olu lolona hlobo luqhelekileyo lomhlaza wezintso. Ngokutsho kweengcali, phakathi kwama-25% nama-60% abantu abane-VHL banokuhlakulela lo mhlaza. Khumbula, izintso zezinye zezitho ezibalulekileyo emzimbeni wethu, ngoko ke umhlaza kuzo yinto ekufuneka uyixhalabele kakhulu.
- Ii-tumor ze-pancreatic neuroendocrine (ii-NET ze-pancreatic): Ezi luhlobo olungaqhelekanga lwe-tumor oluqala kwiiseli ze-endocrine kwi-pancreas yakho. Zinokukhula phakathi kwe-9% kunye ne-17% yabantu abane-VHL.
- I-Pheochromocytoma: Le yithumba engaqhelekanga kodwa enyangekayo ekhula kwi-adrenal gland. Ezi thumba zisenokuqala njengezithumba ezingezizo umhlaza, kodwa kamva zinokuba ngumhlaza. Zivela kwi-10% ukuya kwi-20% yabantu abane-VHL.
- Ii-cystadenomas ze-ligament ezibanzi: Le meko ichaphazela abasetyhini. Iyenzeka kwi-10% yabasetyhini abane-VHL. Lithumba elenzeka kufutshane nemibhobho ye-fallopian.
Zeziphi iithumba ezingezizo ezomhlaza eziza ne-VHL?
Ayingomhlaza kuphela, kodwa neethumba ezingezizo ezomhlaza, oko kukuthi, iithumba ezingasasazeki kwamanye amalungu omzimba (i-metastasize), ezinokuvela xa kukho i-VHL. Eyona ibalulekileyo kwezi yi -hemangioblastoma.Ezi ziithumba ezingezizo ezomhlaza ezikhula kwimithambo yegazi yengqondo, umqolo, okanye i-retina. Nangona zingasasazeki, zinokukhula zibe nkulu kwaye zichaphazele izicwili ezingqongileyo, nto leyo ebangela iingxaki ezinkulu zempilo.
Iintlobo ze-hemangioblastomas ezinokubonwa ezinxulumene ne-`(VHL)` zezi:
- I-hemangioblastoma ye-retinal: Olu luhlobo lwethumba elikhula elisweni. Linokukhokelela ekulahlekelweni kokubona. Uphando lubonisa ukuba likhula kwi-60% yabantu abane-(VHL).
- I-Brain stem kunye ne-cerebellar hemangioblastomas: Ezi zii-tumor ezisebuchotsheni. Zinokuchaphazela ibhalansi yakho kwaye zibangele ezinye iingxaki. Zichaphazela phakathi kwe-13% kunye ne-72% yabantu abane-VHL.
- I-hemangioblastoma yomqolo: Olu hlobo lwe-hemangioblastoma lukhula phakathi kwe-13% kunye ne-50% yabantu abane-(VHL).
Ukongeza, ukuba une-VHL, usengozini yokufumana iithumba ezingezizo zomhlaza kunye nee-cysts ezifana nezi:
- Ii-Epididymal cystadenomas: Ezi zii-tumor ezichaphazela amadoda. Zikhula kwi-epididymis, isakhiwo esincinci esifana netyhubhu esigcina isidoda, kufutshane namasende. Zivela phakathi kwama-25% nama-60% amadoda ane-VHL.
- Ii-Endolymphatic sac tumors (ELST): Ezi zii-tumors ezingaqhelekanga kakhulu. Ukuba une-VHL, zinokukhula endlebeni engaphakathi. Le meko ichaphazela phakathi kwe-10% kunye ne-25% yabantu abane-VHL.
- IiCysts: Ezi ziicysts ezizaliswe lulwelo. Abantu abane-VHL banokukhula kwezi cysts kwizintso nakwipancreas.
Ixhaphake kangakanani isifo se-VHL?
Esi sisifo esingaqhelekanga ngokwenene. Sichaphazela umntu omnye kwabangama-36,000. Uninzi lwabantu abane-VHL luqala ukubonakalisa iimpawu xa bephakathi kweminyaka engama-20. Oku kuthetha ukuba kufuneka ulumke ngale nto usemncinci.
Zithini iimpawu zesifo sikaVon Hippel-Lindau?
Ngenxa yokuba le meko inokubangela ukuba iithumba zikhule emzimbeni wakho wonke, iimpawu ziyahluka. Kuxhomekeke ekubeni iithumba ziphi na kunye nobukhulu beethumba. Unokufumana iimpawu ezifana nezi:
- Intloko ebuhlungu rhoqo.
- Ukulahlekelwa kukuva okanye ukukhala rhoqo ezindlebeni (i-tinnitus).
- Igazi elonyukayo.
- Ukulahlekelwa yibhalansi xa uhamba.
- Ukuncipha kwamandla emisipha okanye ubunzima bokulungelelanisa iintshukumo.

- Ukuhlanza.
Khawucinge nje, besiya kuba nexhala kangakanani ukuba besinokuba nenye okanye ezimbini kwezi mpawu? Ngoko ke ukuba unezinye zezi mpawu ngaxeshanye, kubalulekile ukuba ufune ingcebiso kugqirha.
Yintoni ebangela isifo se-VHL?
I-Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome sisifo esizuzwe njengelifa . Sivela xa ufumana ikopi engaqhelekanga yejini yokuthintela ithumba ebizwa ngokuba yi-VHL komnye wabazali bakho.
Ngamafutshane, ezi "genes zokuthintela ithumba" zithintela iiseli ukuba zingahlukani ngokukhawuleza, nto leyo enokubangela umhlaza. Kufana neebhuleki zemoto. Kodwa ukuba ezi gene ziyatshintshatshintsha, kufana nokususa iibhuleki kunye nokufaka i-accelerator. Ukukhula kweeseli kukhawulezisa ngendlela engalawulekiyo.
Esi sifo sidluliselwa kwi-autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Oku kuthetha ukuba ukuba omnye wabazali bakho une-VHL gene engaqhelekanga, unethuba elingama-50% lokuyifumana njengelifa kwaye ube nesifo se-von Hippel-Lindau. Nangona kunjalo, uphando lubonise ukuba malunga ne-10% yabantu abane-VHL abanayo imbali yosapho yesi sifo. Oku kuthetha ukuba utshintsho olutsha lwe-genetic lunokwenzeka.
Isifo se-VHL sifunyanwa njani?
Oogqirha banokukrokrela ukuba une-VHL ukuba uneempawu zesimo esibangelwa yi-VHL, njenge-hemangioblastoma okanye i-clear cell renal carcinoma. Kodwa indlela ekuphela kwayo yokuqinisekisa oku kukuvavanya i-genetic. Ukuba kukho umntu kusapho lwakho onesifo se-Von Hippel-Lindau, kubalulekile ukubuza ugqirha wakho malunga novavanyo lwe-genetic kuwe.
Ziziphi iindlela zonyango zesifo se-VHL?
Iindlela zonyango ziyahluka ngokuxhomekeke kuhlobo lwe-VHL tumor okanye i-cyst. Ugqirha wakho uza kukuchazela iindlela zonyango ezifanelekileyo kuwe. Iindlela zonyango eziqhelekileyo zezi:
- Utyando lokususa ithumba.
- Unyango ngamachiza.
- Unyango ngemitha.
- Unyango olujoliswe kulo luquka izinto ezifana nonyango lwe-peptide receptor radionuclide (PPRT) kunye ne-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).
- Unyango lwe-immunotherapy.
- Unyango lwehomoni.
Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukufumanisa isifo kwangethuba uze uqale unyango olufanelekileyo. Kulapho ke kuphela apho unokufumana khona iziphumo ezilungileyo.
Ngaba isifo se-VHL singanyangeka ngokupheleleyo?
Ngelishwa, okwangoku akukho nyango lwesifo sika-von Hippel-Lindau. Injongo ephambili yonyango kukufumana nokususa iithumba ngokukhawuleza. Ugqirha wakho unokucebisa utyando lokususa iithumba kunye nezinye iindlela zonyango.
Ukuba ndine-VHL, ndimele ndilindele ntoni?
Ukuba unale meko, kuya kufuneka wenze uvavanyo rhoqo ukuze ujonge iimpawu zezifo ezithile. Ukufunyanwa kwangethuba kunye nonyango lwee-tumor kunokunceda ukunciphisa impembelelo yesifo sika-von Hippel-Lindau ebomini bakho. Yiyo loo nto kubalulekile ukufumana uvavanyo olucetywayo ngugqirha wakho.
Ngaba isifo se-VHL singathintelwa?
Hayi, ayinakuthintelwa. Oku kungenxa yokuba isifo sika-von Hippel-Lindau sibangelwa kukuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo okusuka komnye umzali ukuya komnye. Ukuba umntu kusapho lwakho une-VHL, uvavanyo lwezakhi zofuzo lunokukunceda ufumanise ukuba nawe unayo na inguqu.
Nangona ungenakukwazi ukuthintela isifo sika-von Hippel-Lindau, kuyanceda ukwazi umngcipheko wakho nokuqonda indlela `(VHL)` enokukuchaphazela ngayo. Ukuba uyazi ukuba usemngciphekweni, oogqirha banokujonga iimpawu zezimila ezinxulumene `(VHL)` baze bathathe amanyathelo okuzisusa kwangethuba.
Ukuba une-gene (VHL) kwaye uceba ukuba nomntwana, kungcono ukudibana nomcebisi weze-genetic ukuze nixoxe ngengozi yokuba umntwana wakho afumane i-gene njengelifa.
Ngaba kukho naziphi na iimvavanyo zovavanyo ezikhethekileyo zeemeko ezinxulumene ne-VHL?
Akukho zikhokelo zithile zokuhlolwa koku, njengoko zikho nakwezinye iintlobo zomhlaza (ezifana nokuhlolwa komhlaza okucetyiswa yi-US Preventive Services Task Force). Nangona kunjalo, ukuba uvavanyo lwemfuza luqinisekisa ukuba une-VHL gene engaqhelekanga, iqela lakho lezempilo linokucebisa uvavanyo oluthile ukunceda ekufumaneni iingxaki kwangethuba. Umzekelo, banokucebisa ukuba wenze i-abdominal magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI) rhoqo emva kweminyaka emibini ukujonga umhlaza onxulumene ne-VHL, njenge-clear cell renal carcinoma.
Ndingazinyamekela njani? Ndingenza ntoni?
Ukuphila ne-VHL kuthetha ukuhlala ungenalo ulwazi. Ukuba uzuze i-genetic mutation ebangela i-VHL, unethuba elingama-50% lokufumana esi sifo. Ukuba wenza njalo, unethuba elingama-97% lokufumana iintlobo ezithile zomhlaza kunye nezinye izifo ezinzulu.
Nangona kunjalo, akukho mntu unokuqikelela ngqo indlela `(VHL)` eza kuchaphazela ngayo ubomi bakho. Nazi ezinye izinto ezinokukunceda ulawule le mingeni:
- Fumana inkxaso yempilo yengqondo: Olunye uphando lubonise ukuba ukufunyaniswa kwe-VHL kunokuba nefuthe engqondweni, njengokukhathazeka kunye nokuhlaselwa luloyiko. Ngoko ke, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthetha nogqirha wengqondo okanye umcebisi.

Ungaze uthandabuze ukubuza iqela lakho lezonyango malunga nento omawuyilindele. Kwaye ungalibali ukucela uncedo lokulawula uxinzelelo oluza nokuphila ne-VHL. Awuwedwa, kwaye baninzi abantu abanokukunceda kolu hambo.
👩🏽⚕️ Imibuzo eyongezelelweyo (Ii-FAQ)
💬 Ingaba ukukhupha ulwelo kwilungu lobufazi kuhlala kuyisifo?
Hayi! Ilungu lobufazi lomfazi lilungu elizihlambululayo ngokwendalo. Kuqhelekile ukuba nencindi encinci yokukhupha ulwelo olumhlophe olucacileyo okanye olufana nobisi (olungenavumba) yonke imihla. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba luba tyheli, lube nevumba elifana nelentlanzi, kwaye lubangela ukurhawuzelelwa kwindawo yobufazi, lusulelo.
💬 Kutheni ukukhupha amanzi kujika kube tyheli kwaye kubangele ukudumba?
Ukuphuma kolwelo olumhlophe olugobileyo olunokurhawuzelelwa kakhulu luphawu losulelo lwe-yeast (usulelo lwe-yeast/Candida). Ukuphuma kolwelo olungwevu olufana nentlanzi luphawu losulelo lwebhaktheriya (i-Bacterial Vaginosis). Ukuphuma kolwelo olufana nobovu olutyheli/oluhlaza kunokuba luphawu lwesifo esidluliselwa ngesondo (STD) esifana neTrichomoniasis/Gonorrhea.
💬 Ingaba kulungile ukusebenzisa 'iVaginal Wash' ukuze uphephe oku?
Musa ukuhlanjwa ngamanzi amdaka, isepha, okanye iziqholo ezithengwe kwiikhemesti! Oku kuya kubulala iintsholongwane ezilungileyo (iLactobacillus) ezikuyo kwaye kwenze isifo sibe sibi ngakumbi. Okufuneka ukwenze kukuhlamba nokusula ngamanzi aqhelekileyo kwaye unxibe impahla yangaphantsi yekotoni kuphela. Ukuba kukho ukukhupha okungaqhelekanga, kufuneka ufune unyango kugqirha.
